Is it possible to skip Apple Mail setup assistant?

I've deployed Office 2011 to my compay's Mac users. However, after configuring Outlook, the default reader remains Apple Mail. Now, I know that you can change this setting in Mail's preferences and I'm currently doing so. My issue is that I've removed any and all email accounts from my Users' Apple Mail, meaning I have to deal with the Apple Mail setup assitant and create a bogus email account just to access Mail's preferences to change the default reader and pushing cancel in setup quits mail. Is there away to start Apple Mail without having to go through the setup assistant?
